Don’t Let Property Taxes Drain Your Joy: A True San Antonio Story
Last week I sat down with a kind senior gentleman who looked tired and worried. He shared that tax season was weighing on him—literally and emotionally. His Bexar County property tax bill is over $5,000 for a piece of land he never built on. Years ago he dreamed of constructing a family retreat there, but life went in different directions.
Now, every October when Bexar County mails out property tax statements, he’s reminded that he’s paying thousands for land he doesn’t use. (For reference, Bexar County typically mails bills in October, and taxes become delinquent if not paid by February 1 of the following year.)
Choosing Freedom Over Frustration
We reviewed the current market data together and after looking at the numbers, he made a decision to sell his land. He wisely shared "I want to travel with my loving wife, because after all we are all on borrowed time. When we met we went over the following:
-
How often they visited the land?
-
What would they use the proceeds for?
-
Did owning this property bring them financial freedom or cause a burden?
Could This Be Your Story Too?
If you own property you no longer use or you’re tired of paying rising taxes, you’re not alone. I can help you:
-
Protest your property tax assessment to potentially lower the bill.
-
Create a plan to sell or “liquidate” unused assets, so you can turn that equity into life experiences—travel, paying off debt, or simply breathing easier.
